As I have stressed in previous classes, primary sources provide our students multiple disciplined, imaginative entries into social studies content. The infusion of primary sources not only engages students with a variety of "human" ways to interact with the content, but it also provides the fodder for disciplined inquiry. Historical narratives, both fiction and non-fiction, provide this same human perspective in the social studies.
The Author's Chair activity requires that you select a book from children/adolescent literature to share with the class. Additionally, you will describe three different learning activities and three different assessments that you could potentially use with the literature selection. The book can either be a fiction or non-fiction selection, however it must relate to the social studies discipline.
You may review the author chair activities submitted by other students as a guide/exemplar for your own assignment. However, please keep in mind these are exemplars for your review, not for copying information/ideas from these and offering it as your own work.
